PICA Volume 5 2008

[JimLucas]

THERE WAS A FINE BROOKLYN-BRED COW,

WHO FELL DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH A SOW;

AND WHILE INTERBREEDING,

THEY KEPT RIGHT ON EATING,

WHICH MADE THOSE AROUND THEM SAY "WOW"

But Allan, where's the concertina connection?

(In this context, "Washington State" is not an acceptable answer. )

Farmer Brown had a pig and a sheep,

But he saw only beauty skin deep:

Made sheep-hide squeezebox bellows

To play with his fellows;

Of the pig... salted pork rinds, fried deep.

Alan, if you ever need limericks, keep in mind that I have scores of concertina limericks at my disposal... :-)

Limericks set to music?

Ah, Jim! I think you win the prize for the most lyrical person I've ever come across (with Jody Kruskal being as very close second). I remember that you sent this in several years ago.....

The Concertina

 

With knowing touch, and gentle squeezing,

It makes a sound both pleased and pleasing.

BLUSH!
